Oprah Winfrey

Proverb

25.
This is what is sad when one contemplates human life, that so many live out their lives in quiet lostness... they live, as it were, away from themselves and vanish like shadows. Their immortal souls are blown away, and they are not disquieted by the question of its immortality, because they are already disintegrated before they die.
Kierkegaard, S°ren

Well, take your time and don't live too fast. Troubles will come and they will pass. Find a woman and you'll find love. Don't forget, son, there is someone up above.
Skynard, Lynard

Challenging the meaning of life is the truest expression of the state of being human.
Frankl, Viktor E.

As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means.
Camus, Albert

31.
Life is given for wisdom, and yet we are not wise; for goodness, and we are not good; for overcoming evil, and evil remains; for patience and sympathy and love, and yet we are fretful and hard and weak and selfish. We are keyed not to attainment, but to the struggle toward it.
Munger, Thornton T.

32.
We Japanese enjoy the small pleasures, not extravagance. I believe a man should have a simple lifestyle -- even if he can afford more.
Ibuka, Massaru

33.
Life is a glass given to us to fill; a busy life is filling it with as much as it can hold; a hurried life has had more poured into it than it can contain.
Brown, William Adams

34.
It is quite true what Philosophy says: that Life must be understood backwards. But that makes one forget the other saying: that it must be lived --forwards. The more one ponders this, the more it comes to mean that life in the temporal existence never becomes quite intelligible, precisely because at no moment can I find complete quiet to take the backward-looking position.
Kierkegaard, S°ren

35.
It's better to be an authentic loser than a false success, and to die alive than to live dead.
Markiewicz, William

36.
Life is at its best when it's shaken and stirred.
Facult, F. Paul

38.
Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me.
Schweitzer, Albert

39.
Life isn't like a book. Life isn't logical or sensible or orderly. Life is a mess most of the time. And theology must be lived in the midst of that mess.
Colton, Charles Caleb

40.
To live fully is to let go and die with each passing moment, and to be reborn in each new one.
Kornfield, Jack

41.
The tragedy of life is not so much what men suffer, but rather what they miss.
Carlyle, Thomas

42.
The best things in life are never rationed. Friendship, loyalty, and love. They do not require coupons.
Hewitt, George T.

43.
The four stages of life are infancy, childhood, adolescence, and obsolescence.
Linkletter, Art

44.
Only to the extent that someone is living out this self transcendence of human existence, is he truly human or does he become his true self. He becomes so, not by concerning himself with his self's actualization, but by forgetting himself and giving himself, overlooking himself and focusing outward.
Frankl, Viktor E.

45.
The cities of the world are concentric, isomorphic, synchronic. Only one exists and you are always in the same one. It's the effect of their permanent revolution, their intense circulation, their instantaneous magnetism.
Baudrillard, Jean

46.
All that a city will ever allow you is an angle on it -- an oblique, indirect sample of what it contains, or what passes through it; a point of view.
Conrad, Peter

47.
Washington is no place for a good actor. The competition from bad actors is too great.
Allen, Fred A.

This life of separateness may be compared to a dream, a phantasm, a bubble, a shadow, a drop of dew, a flash of lightning.
Buddha

50.
Life is like playing a violin in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.
Samuel Butler
